MOVEMENT JOINTS AND COVE-SHAPED PROFILES
Movement joints are an integral part of any tile
assembly. The various components of a tile
assembly (tile, mortar, substrate, etc.) expand
and contract according to each component’s
intrinsic physical properties with changes in
moisture, temperature, and loading, resulting
in internal stresses. Furthermore, structures
that restrain overall expansion of the tile field
(walls, columns, etc.) cause stress buildup
within the system. If the aforementioned
movements are not accommodated through
the use of movement joints in the tile field and
at restraining structures, the resulting stresses
can cause cracking of the grout and tile and
delamination of the tile from the substrate. Thus,
movement joints are an essential component
of any durable tile assembly. Schluter

Systems’ prefabricated movement joint profiles
accommodate movement and protect tile
edges, resulting in a permanent, maintenance-
free installation. The family of Schluter
®
-DILEX
prefabricated movement profiles includes a
variety of shapes, sizes, and materials to suit
different applications.
Application and Function
Mortar Bed Joint Profiles
DILEX screed joint profiles (DILEX-MOP and
DILEX-MP/-MPV) are designed to provide
movement joints in tile installations that are set
in a mortar bed (e.g., ceramic tile, natural stone,
pavers, and agglomerate tile). These profile
systems are placed to produce individual fields
in the assembly and feature flexible central
zones to accommodate movement. DILEX
mortar bed joint profiles may also be inserted in
saw-cut joints or wider joints; for example,
in the case of renovations. The remaining
joint between the tile and the profile must
be filled completely with grout or epoxy.
The side sections of the profiles, made of
rigid PVC, protect the edges of the adjacent
covering against mechanical stresses
caused by industrial traffic. However, where
heavy mechanical stresses are anticipated,
limitations of the PVC as edge protection
must be considered.
4.4 Schluter
®
-DILEX-MOP is available in
three different heights and features stable
serrated sidewalls made of rigid PVC and a
central movement zone made of soft PVC. The
side sections are made with environmentally
friendly recycled PVC and may vary slightly
in color. Since the side sections are partially
exposed at the surface, DILEX-MOP is
intended mainly for industrial use.
4.3 Schluter
®
-DILEX-MP adjusts to the
thickness of the mortar bed and tile surface
by attaching the DILEX-MPV extensions. The
profile features a central movement zone
made of soft chlorinated polyethylene (CPE),
which overlaps the recycled rigid PVC side
sections by approximately 1/32" (1 mm),
thus providing a more aesthetically pleasing
exposed surface when compared to DILEX-
MOP.
9.1 Schluter
®
-DILEX-DFP is
a movement joint profile for
installation at door areas or to
divide screed surfaces.
Height: 2-3/8" (6 cm)
3-1/8" (8 cm)
4" (10 cm)
Surface Joint Profiles
Surface joints must be placed within the tiled
surface regardless of substrate conditions.
They provide stress relief from movements
in the tile field due to thermal and moisture
expansion/contraction and loading. Schluter

Systems offers a wide variety of prefabricated,
maintenance-free surface movement joint
profiles, suitable for applications ranging from
residential to heavy commercial.
Residential to Medium-duty
Commercial Applications
4.1 Schluter
®
-DILEX-EZ 6 + 9 feature rigid
PVC side walls, which are connected on top
and bottom by soft PVC movement zones
that form the visible surfaces. These profiles
separate individual fields in the tile covering
and accommodate movement through the
soft PVC movement zones. Each profile
features two usable surfaces in different colors
for increased design options. One surface
of the profile features the PVC movement
zone in a solid color, while the other surface
features a brass or chrome inlay embedded
in the PVC movement zone. DILEX-EZ 6
and 9 are flexible and can be used to form
curves. The height, “H”, of DILEX-EZ 6 is 1/4"
(6 mm); the height, “H”, of DILEX-EZ 9 is
11/32" (9 mm).
4.7 Schluter
®
-DILEX-BWS features
trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs, made
of recycled rigid PVC, which are secured
in the mortar bond coat and provide edge
protection for adjacent tiles. The profile
separates individual fields in the tile covering
and accommodates movement via the soft
chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) movement
zone, which also forms the visible surface. The
movement zone is only 3/16" (5 mm) wide,
matching common grout joint widths. The
profile absorbs relatively limited movements,
given the width of the movement zone. This
should be taken into account when evaluating
the requirements for a specific application.
If larger movements within the
covering are anticipated, the
DILEX-BWS may be installed with
greater frequency to create smaller fields,
or the DILEX-BWB (3/8", 10 mm
movement zone) may be used.
DILEX-BWS is suitable for both residential
and medium-duty commercial applications
subject to light mechanical loads (e.g., offices
and stores).
4.6 Schluter
®
-DILEX-BWB features
trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs, made
of recycled rigid PVC, which are secured
in the mortar bond coat and provide
edge protection for adjacent tiles. The
profile separates individual fields in the tile
covering and accommodates movement
via the soft chlorinated polyethylene
(CPE) movement zone, which also forms
the visible surface. The movement zone is
3/8" (10 mm) wide, matching common
movement joint widths, and is thus
capable of accommodating relatively large
movements. DILEX-BWB is suitable for both
residential use and medium-duty commercial
applications subject to light mechanical loads
(e.g., offices or stores).

-DILEX-AKWS features
trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs,
made of aluminum, which are secured in
the mortar bond coat and provide edge
protection for adjacent tiles. The profile
separates individual fields in the tile covering
and accommodates movement via the 1/4"
(6 mm)-wide, soft PVC movement zone,
which also forms the visible surface. The soft
PVC movement zone is connected to the
anchoring legs with rigid PVC grip bars and
is not replaceable. DILEX-AKWS is suitable
for both residential use and medium-duty
commercial applications, such as areas
subject to moderate mechanical stresses,
including light vehicular traffic. In addition,
DILEX-AKWS prevents sound bridges, making
it ideal for use in sound-rated floors.
Heavy-duty
Commercial Applications
4.16 Schluter
®
-DILEX-EDP features
trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs, made of
stainless steel, which are secured in the mortar
bond coat and provide edge protection for
adjacent tiles. The profile separates individual
fields in the tile covering and accommodates
horizontal movement via the stainless steel
tongue-and-groove connection, which also
forms the visible surface. Because the profile
is designed to absorb horizontal movement
only, appropriate measures must be taken
to prevent the screed from moving vertically.
In its base position, the visible width
of the DILEX-EDP profile is 15/32"
(12 mm). The profile is particularly suited
for tile surfaces subject to heavy use.
DILEX-EDP offers secure edge protection for
surfaces exposed to continuous vehicular
traffic and is, therefore, suited for use in
production plants, warehouses, shopping
centers, and underground parking garages,
or for floor surfaces maintained with
cleaning machines.
4.8 Schluter
®
-DILEX-KSN features
trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs, made
of stainless steel or aluminum, which are
secured in the mortar bond coat and provide
edge protection for adjacent tiles. The
profile separates individual fields in the tile
covering and accommodates movement via
the 7/16" (11 mm)-wide, soft thermoplastic
rubber movement zone, which also forms
the visible surface. The thermoplastic rubber
movement zone can be replaced if damaged.
DILEX-KSN, with stainless steel anchoring
legs, offers secure edge protection
for surfaces exposed to heavy-duty
commercial traffic (e.g., warehouses,
production facilities, or shopping malls).
Schluter
®
-DILEX-EKSB, featuring stainless
steel anchoring legs, is available in 3/32"
(2.5 mm), 3/16" (4.5 mm), and 1/4"
(6 mm) heights to accommodate thinner floor
coverings (e.g., VCT flooring or coatings).
DILEX-EKSB is appropriate for residential to
medium-duty commercial applications. Note:
The thermoplastic rubber movement zone for
DILEX-EKSB is not replaceable.
Expansion Joint Profiles
4.20 Schluter
®
-DILEX-BT features trapezoid-
perforated anchoring legs, made of anodized
aluminum, which are secured in the mortar
bond coat and provide edge protection for
adjacent tiles against mechanical stresses.
The anchoring legs can also be integrated into
the mortar bed for other covering materials,
such as carpeting or VCT. Therefore, the
profile can move together with the respective
covering assembly. The 1-3/16" (30 mm)-wide
telescopic center section absorbs movements
of ±7/32" (5 mm). The lateral pivot joints
allow for the absorption of three-dimensional
movement. DILEX-BT offers secure edge
protection for surfaces exposed to foot traffic
as well as vehicular traffic and is, therefore,
suited for use in warehouses, production
facilities, shopping centers, airports, train
stations, and parking garages, or for coverings
cleaned with machines.
Schluter
®
-DILEX-BT/O, one variation of the
profile, can be used to create expansion joints
at floor/wall transitions. A second variation,
Schluter
®
-DILEX-BTS is added to completed
surface coverings. The profile can be inserted
into existing joint spaces. The joints must be
at least 1-3/4" (44 mm) wide and 3/8" (10
mm) deep.
Perimeter Joint Profiles
Perimeter joints are provided at restraining
elements to accommodate movements
attributable to changes in moisture,
temperature, and loading. DILEX perimeter
movement joints are specifically designed to
provide the flexible connection of tiled surfaces
to fixed building elements (e.g., bathtubs,
shower trays, countertops, and door and
window frames) and prevent sound bridges,
thereby reducing sound transmission.
4.10 Schluter
®
-DILEX-AS features a
trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, made of
rigid PVC, which is secured in the mortar
bond coat beneath the tiles, and a flexible
joining leg with self-adhesive tape to bond
the profile to fixed building elements. The
profile isolates the tile covering from the
fixed building element and accommodates
movement via the flexible joining leg, which
also forms the visible surface. The profile
does not replace waterproofing. Required
waterproofing must be installed prior to the
installation of the profile. DILEX-AS also
prevents sound bridges, making it ideal

-DILEX-BWA features a
trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, made
of recycled rigid PVC, which is secured in
the mortar bond coat, and a dovetailed
channel, made of recycled rigid PVC, which
can be bonded to fixed building elements
(e.g., door and window frames, bathtubs
and shower trays, countertops, etc.) using
Schluter
®
-KERDI-FIX, epoxy resin, silicone,
tile adhesive, etc. The profile isolates the
tile covering from the structure and
accommodates movement via the 3/16”
(5 mm)-wide soft chlorinated polyethylene
(CPE) movement zone, which also forms the
visible surface. The lower CPE movement
zone is slit to maximize the absorption of
movement. DILEX-BWA also prevents sound
bridges, making it ideal for transitions in
sound-rated floors.
4.9 Schluter
®
-DILEX-KSA features a
trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, made
of stainless steel or aluminum, which
is secured in the mortar bond coat and
provides edge protection for adjacent tiles,
and a self-adhesive backing strip which
can be bonded to fixed building elements
(e.g., door and window frames, bathtubs and
shower trays, countertops, etc.). The profile
isolates the tile covering from the structure
and accommodates movement via the 3/8"
(10 mm)-wide, soft thermoplastic rubber
movement zone, which also forms the visible
surface. The thermoplastic rubber movement
zone can be replaced if damaged. DILEX-KSA
uses the same anchoring leg as DILEX-KSN
to allow for the same appearance throughout
an installation. DILEX-KSA also prevents
sound bridges, making it ideal for transitions in
sound-rated floors.
Cove-shaped Profiles
Ceramic cove base represents a neat, hygienic
method for treating transitions by providing a
curved surface that prevents the collection
of dirt and is easy to clean. However, the
limited availability of ceramic trim pieces has
resulted in the use of sealant and caulk to
treat such transitions. These joints must be
continually maintained throughout the life of
the installation. DILEX cove-shaped profiles
provide an attractive, clean, and maintenance-
free alternative for inside wall corners and
floor/wall (including countertop/backsplash)
transitions. They also allow the use of any
tile line, regardless of the availability of trim
pieces.

movement zone, which forms the visible
surface and creates a discrete, uniform joint.
DILEX-EKE prevents surface water penetration
and features a tile pocket that hides cut tile
edges. In addition, it prevents sound bridges,
making it ideal for floor/wall transitions in
sound-rated floors.

Material Properties and
Areas of Application
DILEX profiles are resistant to most
chemicals encountered in tiled
environments. In special cases, the
suitability of a proposed type of profile must
be verified based on the anticipated chemical,
mechanical, and/or other stresses. Exceptions
and special considerations are listed below:
Stainless steel profiles are roll-formed,
resulting in a slightly different contour from
those made of extruded brass or aluminum.
Stainless steel can sustain high mechanical
stresses and is particularly well suited for
applications requiring resistance against
chemicals and acids; for example in the
food industry, breweries, dairies, commercial
kitchens, and hospitals, as well as in residential
applications. Typically, the profiles are formed
using stainless steel 304 (1.4301 = V2A).
For more severe chemical exposure, such
as de-icing salts and chemicals used in
swimming pools, we recommend the use of
stainless steel 316 L (1.4404 = V4A), which
offers even higher corrosion resistance than
the 304. Even stainless steel cannot withstand
all chemical exposures, such as hydrochloric
acid, hydrofluoric acid or certain chlorine,
chloride and brine concentrations. Both
stainless steel 304 and stainless steel 316 L
are approved for use in exterior applications.
Stainless steel 304 is not as corrosion resistant
as 316 L; however, profiles in stainless steel
304 are acceptable for exterior use as long
as the intended area is not susceptible to
de-icing salts, chlorine, or saltwater.
Aluminum profiles must be tested to
verify their suitability if chemical stresses
are anticipated. Cementitious materials, in
conjunction with moisture, become alkaline.
Since aluminum is sensitive to alkaline
substances, exposure to the alkali (depending
on the concentration and duration of exposure)
may result in corrosion (aluminum hydroxide
formation). Therefore, it is important to remove
mortar or grout residue from visible surfaces.
In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly
embedded in the setting material and that all
cavities are filled to prevent the collection of
alkaline water.
Anodized aluminum profiles feature
an anodized layer that retains a uniform
appearance during normal use, but is not
color-stable in exterior applications. The
surface is susceptible to scratching and
wear and may be damaged by grout or
setting material. Therefore, these materials
must be removed immediately. Otherwise, the
description regarding aluminum applies.
Textured color-coated aluminum is
pretreated (chromated) aluminum that is color-
coated with a polyurethane powder coat.
The coating is color-stable, UV-resistant, and
suitable for exterior use. Protect the profile
against abrasion or scratching.
Thermoplastic rubber inserts are highly
resistant to chemicals and can withstand
chemical stresses typically encountered
in tile coverings. The insert is resistant to
aging, weather, UV-rays, and ozone within
a temperature range of -76 °F (-60 °C) to
212 °F (100 °C). Thermoplastic elastomers
can be connected by welding if profiles are
joined to produce longer lengths.
CPE movement zones contain no softeners,
are UV-resistant, and can withstand exposure
to weather. They are resistant to fungi and
bacteria and are, therefore, suitable for use
around food. The CPE material is also resistant
to a number of acids, alkalis, oils, greases,
and solvents. DILEX movement joint profiles
with CPE movement zones may be used in
swimming pools and the surrounding areas.

PVC movement zones are UV-resistant,
though not permanently color-stable, in
exterior applications. PVC profiles are made
of pre-colored, rigid PVC that resists bending
or scratching. The material is UV-resistant,
though not permanently color-stable, in
exterior applications.
Cutting Profiles
Observe all safety instructions and standards
as directed by the cutting tool manufacturer,
including protective eyewear, hearing
protection, and gloves.
Always measure carefully and dry fit the
profiles, corners, and connectors to ensure
proper fit and alignment prior to setting tile.
Plastic profiles may be cut using Schluter
®
-
SNIPS or similar. It is important to make sure
the blade is sharp to ensure a clean cut.
Aluminum profiles may be cut using any of
the following options:
Hacksaw with a bimetal blade and the
highest teeth per inch (TPI) available.
Variable-Speed Angle Grinder set to the
lowest speed using the Schluter
®
-PROCUT-
TSM cutting wheel.
Chop saw or Miter Saw with a non-
ferrous blade.
Regardless of the cutting tool used, remove
any burrs from the cut end of the profile with
a file or similar before installation.
Stainless steel profiles may be cut using any
of the following options:
Variable-Speed Angle Grinder set to the
lowest speed using the Schluter
®
-PROCUT-
TSM cutting wheel.
Band Saw with a metal cutting blade.
Regardless of the cutting tool used, remove
any burrs from the cut end of the profile with
a file or similar before installation.

surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32" (1
mm) lower.
Expansion Joint Profiles
BT/BTO/BTS
1. Select profile according to tile thickness
and format.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set
mortar over the area where the profile is to
be placed. The profile must align directly
with movement joints in the substrate
below.
3. Press the perforated anchoring legs of the
profile into the mortar and align.
4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the
perforated anchoring legs to ensure full
coverage and support of the tile edges.
5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled
surface is flush with the top of the profile;
the profile should not be higher than the
tiled surface, but rather up to approx.
1/32" (1 mm) lower.
6. For DILEX-BT, the tile is set to the
integrated joint spacer, which ensures a
uniform joint of 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm).
7. Fill the joint completely with grout or
setting material; remove the protective foil
from DILEX-BT.
8. For DILEX-BTO the installation of the
profile on the wall and ceiling surfaces is
essentially equivalent to floor applications.
9. DILEX-BTS can be inserted into existing
joint spaces. The joints must be at least
1-3/4" (44 mm) wide and 3/8" (10 mm)

MOVEMENT JOINTS AND COVE-SHAPED PROFILES
deep. The lateral anchoring legs are
adhered to the existing covering with a
suitable adhesive (e.g., epoxy resin) or
mechanically fastened to the covering
with the appropriate screws.
Perimeter Joint Profiles
AS
1. Thoroughly clean the contact area on
adjoining fixtures where DILEX-AS will be
positioned.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply the
thin-set mortar over the area where the
trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg will
be placed.
3. Remove the paper from the self-
adhesive tape. Apply Schluter
®
-
KERDI-FIX or silicone sealant parallel
and adjacent to self-adhesive tape.
Press the profile with self-adhesive
tape against the fixture in such a way
that the perforated anchoring leg
can also be pressed into the applied
thin-set mortar.
4. Install inside corners and end caps with
KERDI-FIX or silicone prior to setting tiles.
5. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over
the perforated anchoring leg to ensure
full coverage.
6. A joint of approx. 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 -
3 mm) should be left between the tile and
the profile.
7. Fill the joint completely with grout or
setting material.
BWA and KSA
1. Select profile according to tile thick-ness
and format.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set
mortar over the area where the profile is
to be placed.
3. If necessary, fill the dovetailed channel of
DILEX-BWA with KERDI-FIX, epoxy resin,
silicone, or similar to adhere the profile to
the existing structure. Remove film from
self-adhesive backing strip on DILEX-
KSA.
4. Press the perforated anchoring leg
of the profile into the mortar and
adjust it securely against the existing
building elements.
5. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the
perforated anchoring leg to ensure full
coverage and support of the tile edges.
6. Solidly embed the tiles and align flush with
the top of the profile.
7. A joint of approx. 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 -
3 mm) should be left between the tile and
the profile.
8. Fill the joint completely with grout or
setting material.
Cove-shaped Profiles
EKE, HKW, HK, HKU, PHK, AHK, AHKA,
EHK, and HKS
1. Select profile according to tile thickness
and format.
Note: For DILEX-HK and DILEX-EKE,
profile height, “U”, must allow insertion of
the tile into the tile pocket; for example,
select “U 12” for a tile thick-ness between
approx. 3/8" (10 mm) and 7/16" (11 mm).
DILEX-HKU with 3/8" (10 mm) radius may
be used with 1/4" (6 mm) and thicker tiles.
DILEX-HKU with 1-13/32" (36 mm) radius
may be used with 5/16" (8 mm) and thicker
tiles.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set
mortar over the area where the trapezoid-
perforated anchoring legs will be placed.
Note: If necessary, fill the dovetailed
channel of DILEX-AHKA with KERDI-FIX,
epoxy resin, silicone, thin-set mortar or
similar to adhere the profile to the existing
floor surface.
Note: When using thicker tiles with DILEX-
HKU, apply additional mortar behind the
anchoring leg.
3. Press the perforated anchoring leg(s) of the
profile into the mortar.
4. Install inside and outside corners,
connectors and end caps prior to setting
tile. The use of thin-set mortar or similar
may be required to achieve a proper fit.
Prior to application, any contact-inhibiting
substances (e.g. grease, etc.) must be
removed. The connectors should overlap
the profiles by a least 3/8" (10 mm).
Notes:
Internal connectors for DILEX-HKU are
inserted prior to profile installation. Leave
approximately a 1/2" (12.5 mm) space
between the adjacent profiles. This space
will be covered by the surface-applied
connectors.
DILEX-EHK/HKS/HKU accessories are
applied using a permanently elastic,
waterproof adhesive (e.g. KERDI-FIX or
silicone).
5. Trowel additional thin-set mortar where the
tiles are to be installed.
6. Solidly embed the tiles, ensuring full
coverage and support of the tile edges,
and align flush with the top of the profile,
leaving a joint of approximately 1/16" –
1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm) between the tile and the
profile.
Note: For DILEX-HK and DILEX-EKE,
insert floor tile into the tile pocket. For
DILEX-AHK, set tile to the integrated joint
spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of
1/16" – 1/8" (1.5 – 3 mm) between the tile
and the profile.
7. Fill the joints completely with grout or
setting material.
Maintenance
DILEX profiles require no special maintenance
or care and are resistant to mold and fungi.
Clean profiles periodically using pH neutral
cleaning agents. Avoid the use of strong
acids (e.g., hydrochloric or hydrofluoric)
and base/alkaline cleaners (e.g., bleach,
ammonium chlorides). Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents and tools. Even stainless
steel requires periodic cleaning, which will
maintain a neat appearance and reduce the
risk of corrosion. Stainless steel surfaces
develop a sheen when treated with a chrome
polishing agent. Oxidation films on exposed
solid brass or aluminum can be removed by
using a conventional polishing agent, but the
film will form again.
The thermoplastic rubber inserts in DILEX-
KSN/-KSA/-HKS are replaceable, with the
exception of -EKSB.

-DILEX-EHK (collectively, the “Products”) will be
free from manufacturing defects and will perform as described in the Schluter-Systems Movement Joints and Cove-Shaped Profiles Technical Data Sheet (collectively, the “Written
Materials
1
) for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase when installed and used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Written Materials and industry
standard guidelines that are not in conflict with the Written Materials in effect at the time of installation.
For the purposes of this Limited Warranty, “Owner” is defined as the original end user of the property in which the Products are installed; and “Tile Assembly” is defined to include
the Products, non-reusable tile surfaces, and applicable setting and grouting materials.
This Limited Warranty is only applicable to installations in the United States of America and Canada. Schluter-Systems is not responsible or liable under any circumstances for
determining the suitability of the Products for the Owner’s intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the Owner to consult with an experienced and professional installer to ensure
the suitability of the Products, subfloor/substrate and all building materials in the installation and that the Written Materials are followed properly.
RESOLUTION: If the Products are installed and used in accordance with the terms and conditions as described hereinabove and such Products are proven defective within the
applicable warranty term, the Owner’s exclusive remedy and the sole obligation of Schluter-Systems, at its election, shall be to (a) reinstall or replace the failed portion of the Tile
Assembly or (b) pay an amount not to exceed the original square foot cost of the installation of the Tile Assembly verified to be defective. Due to conditions beyond the control of
Schluter-Systems (e.g., color and shade availability, discontinuation, normal wear and tear), Schluter-Systems cannot guarantee or warrant an exact match to the specific tile, stone,
or other flooring materials used in the original installation. In such event, substantially similar materials may be substituted.
EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE: This Limited Warranty excludes and in no event shall Schluter-Systems have any liability for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary,
or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising out of or otherwise connected to the failure of the Products or Tile Assembly, regardless of any strict liability or active or
passive negligence of Schluter-Systems, and regardless of legal theory, whether in contract, tort, extra-contractual or other. This Limited Warranty further excludes any loss or
damage arising out of or otherwise connected to: acts of war, terrorism, fire, explosion, natural disaster, acts of God, any failure to comply with the Written Materials, inadequate
subfloor/substrate, improper preparation or other failure of subfloor/substrate, faulty or negligent penetration of the Products or subfloor/substrate, intentional acts of destruction,
structural failure, misuse of or failure to maintain the Products, normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, corrosion or discoloration (whether caused by excessive heat, chemical
cleaning products, abrasive agents or otherwise), efflorescence and shading which are a natural occurrence with cementitious materials and are not considered a defective
condition for the purposes of this Limited Warranty, variations of texture, color or shade from those on product samples, packaging materials or other marketing materials, or other
causes unrelated to the Products (e.g. tile covering failure, excess point loading, overvoltage). This Limited Warranty excludes exterior applications and applications utilizing glass
tile or other non-approved tile coverings, unless specifically approved in writing on a case by case basis by the Schluter-Systems Technical Services Director.
This Limited Warranty is conditioned and will be considered null and void and Schluter-Systems will have the right to refuse any claims if: (a) the Products have been improperly
stored or installed, or (b) the Products are subject to abusive or abnormal use, lack of maintenance, or used in a manner other than that for which the Products were designed
or in any way contrary to the Written Materials.
DISCLAIMER: There are no warranties beyond this expressed warranty as stated herein. To the extent permitted by law, all other warranties, representations or conditions, expressed
or implied, are hereby disclaimed and excluded, including but not limited to the implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (as
limited to such purposes as described in the Written Materials) or arising from a course of dealing, usage of trade or otherwise by law. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING BY
OPERATION OF LAW ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NO REPRESENTATION, PROMISE, AFFIRMATION OR STATEMENT BY ANY
EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SCHLUTER-SYSTEMS WILL BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST SCHLUTER-SYSTEMS UNLESS IT IS SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR AUTHORIZED IN WRITING BY THE SCHLUTER-SYSTEMS TECHNICAL SERVICES DIRECTOR. This Limited Warranty is given in lieu of any other warranty,
whether expressed or implied. The remedies contained herein are the only remedies available for breach of this Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty extends only to the Owner
and is not transferable or assignable unless authorized by written agreement and signed by the Schluter-Systems Technical Services Director or otherwise prohibited by specific
state or provincial law. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights; some states and provinces do not allow disclaimers or other restrictions of implied warranties; some of
the above disclaimers may not apply to you. No changes or modifications of any terms or conditions of this Limited Warranty are permitted unless duly authorized in writing by the
Schluter-Systems Technical Services Director. This Limited Warranty shall supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written warranties, agreements, or other representations
made by or on behalf of Schluter-Systems relative to the Products or the application of the Products and shall apply to any installation occurring on or after April 8, 2019. If the
Products are used in conjunction with other Schluter products, a different Schluter warranty may apply. For the most current information and materials regarding Schluter-Systems
warranties and programs, please visit https://www.schluter.com/schluter-us/en_US/downloadfiles.
MAKING A CLAIM: To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, the Owner must provide Schluter-Systems
2
with written notice within thirty (30) days of any alleged defect in the
Products covered by this Limited Warranty, together with date and proof of purchase of such Products and/or all of its components and name and address of all installers and all
invoices related to the original installation, failing which this Limited Warranty shall have no legal effect
